About

This is a very different object to those revolting things to be found in pubs and on supermarket shelves.

Ingredients

10 eggs (size 1 or 2)
225 g/8 oz cooked ham

Method

Beat 2 of the eggs in a shallow bowl. Put the other 8 eggs into a saucepan of cold water, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Plunge into cold water and peel. This method should produce a slightly softer yolk than rock hard, which I think is nicer.

Process, mince or fine
